Each piece is beautifully simple, fluid, expressive and all-inclusive.
Laura Jer is a Christchurch-based contemporary jeweller who graduated from Unitec Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Design and Visual Arts (Contemporary Jewellery major) in 2013.
Laura’s jewellery practice is very much process-driven, using folding, bending and creasing of thin silver plate to create depth and layers from a single flat surface. Each piece is beautifully simple, fluid, expressive and all-inclusive, as the finding that connects object to wearer is created within the same sheet, thus removing the need for soldering or joining additional material. Laura’s designs are never sketched out; instead they come to life when she puts hand to metal and starts to manipulate and shape the material. It is always the metal that provides the inspiration for her work.

"The Creative in Me...It Felt Contagious."
While visiting Auckland a couple of months back I popped into Whau Studios in Point Chevalier to meet up with new jeweller to Kina, Laura Jer. It's always great to put a face to the artworks we have at Kina and especially good when we get to connect with their creative space!
